Problems when trying to install mods

[Sarge]

Problem solved - it is working!

But I guess there must be many SMF users out there, who will experience this problem!!!

Thanks for your help

You're welcome!

Can you please tell us what did you do to solve the problem, so that other users can apply the same solution to the same problem?

Thank you.

Sure, I just did as you explained

As you said the problem was that the mod server settings were wrong, so I followed this instruction from you:

1. Go to Admin > Packages.
2. Click on the Download Packages tab.
3. Delete the Simple Machines server (its URL is not valid anymore, that's why):
4. Add the server again - with the same name, but with the current URL: http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods

Once again - thanks a lot for your help!

1) you can browse mod servers from within your forum (PHP is not running in safe_mode, and allow_url_fopen is on in php.ini);

Sarge I would like to state for the fact that allow_url_fopen does not need to be enabaled. I personally have this set off in my own php.ini
SMF uses fsock to open a connect to the mod site in question and get needed information.

Post is corrected. Thanks for the info.
